EEV Troubleshooting in 3D: A Guide for HVAC Techs

In this 3D Guide for HVAC Techs, we dive deep into the world of Troubleshooting Electronic Expansion Valves (EEVs) used in HVAC systems.

Perfect for HVAC technicians looking to expand their knowledge, we cover:

  • How bipolar EEVs function in HVAC applications
  • The difference between stepper motor and direct drive EEVs
  • Common failure points and troubleshooting methods
  • Step-by-step diagnostic procedures using meters and specialized tools

Whether you’re dealing with mini-splits, VRV/VRF systems, or variable speed equipment, this guide walks you through the precise control mechanisms that make EEVs superior to traditional metering devices. Learn to properly test winding resistance, check for mechanical issues, and use tools like manual actuators and the EEVMate for effective troubleshooting.
